| Reason for the Action |
TGA testing has identified a potential non-compliance for this product. Formaldehyde at a concentration of 0.0278 mg/mL in a sample was detected, which exceeds the maximum permitted concentration of 0.022 mg/mL specified under TGO 110.
Formaldehyde may cause eye and respiratory irritation, with risk dependent on the level and duration of exposure. Formaldehyde also has recognised hazards associated with repeated or long-term inhalation exposure, including chronic effects on respiratory tissues and carcinogenicity. However, formaldehyde at the level detected in this sample would not reasonably be expected to result in serious acute toxicity during normal use.
No adverse events associated with the affected batch have been reported to date.
This action was undertaken prior to TGA notification. |
